Cheap CS2 Knife and Glove Combos: 10 Full Sets Under $150
The knife and glove market hasn’t looked like this in years. Items people used to hunt for months and pay off in installments are sitting on the market at prices that would have read as a marketplace glitch a year ago, or as the luckiest find of your life. Gloves at $40, knives in top-tier finishes around $60-70, and none of it is leftover garbage floats. These are perfectly normal copies for an everyday inventory.
Which makes this a good moment to act. A full knife and glove set now costs less than the gloves alone used to, and we’ve pulled together ten combinations that fit inside $150 for both items. We also made a point of keeping the lineup varied, so there’s genuinely something here for every kind of inventory.
All prices come from the Steam Community Market, which is effectively the ceiling. The same items go for noticeably less on third-party markets, and several of these sets can be assembled for under $100 if you shop around. The easiest way to find the best offer is our SIH extension: it pulls prices from every marketplace into a single window, so you’re not comparing tabs by hand.
- Hand Wraps | Arboreal (Field-Tested) — $58.30
- Paracord Knife | Boreal Forest (Field-Tested) — $61.59
- Total: $119.89
We’re opening with the classic. Forest camo is forgiving by nature: a dozen knives and gloves share roughly the same palette, and it’s hard to go wrong with any of them. This particular pairing is still our favorite, and the color is only half the reason.
The wraps and the Paracord echo each other in texture. The knife’s handle is wound in cord, the gloves run on the same logic of fabric wrapped around the hand, and the long narrow blade reads as one more strip of it. What you get isn’t two green items sitting next to each other, it’s a single coherent look.
- Hand Wraps | Giraffe (Field-Tested) — $58.71
- Navaja Knife | Tiger Tooth (Factory New) — $89.81
- Total: $148.52
The most premium set in the roundup, and the knife does most of the work. Tiger Tooth sits a tier above most finishes: the gold blade registers instantly and reads as an expensive item no matter which model it lands on.
The spotted Giraffe wraps share its color family, and the pale marbled handle on the Navaja adds a third tone that ties the two together. For $148 this looks like a set someone spent three times as much on. The Factory New condition is a bonus in itself. Unlike every other knife on this list, this one shows up without a single scratch, though as you’ll see below, that isn’t always what you want.
- Hydra Gloves | Mangrove (Field-Tested) — $39.86
- Nomad Knife | Safari Mesh (Battle-Scarred) — $98.11
- Total: $137.97
There was no way we were skipping the cheapest gloves in the game. Mangrove currently trades around $25 on third-party sites, which would have been unthinkable a year ago.
Since the gloves cost almost nothing, we put the rest of the budget into the knife. The Nomad has one of the most satisfying animations in CS2, and every switch to it pays you back a little. Safari Mesh in Battle-Scarred doesn’t look damaged so much as properly broken in, which is exactly the texture you want next to the raised detailing on the Hydras. The snake pattern on the gloves and the mesh finish on the blade pull in the same direction.
- Driver Gloves | Rezan the Red (Field-Tested) — $71.99
- Gut Knife | Rust Coat (Battle-Scarred) — $62.53
- Total: $134.52
An unexpected pairing, and it’s built around the handle. The red wood on the Gut Knife lands almost exactly on the gloves’ shade, so the knife extends them instead of fighting them.
The rusted blade meanwhile settles into a dark brown that catches the black leather panels along the sides of the Driver Gloves. Rust Coat is one of the most underrated finishes in the game: in Battle-Scarred it costs pocket change and still looks like a genuinely old weapon rather than a ruined skin. The hooked Gut Knife is also a model you rarely run into in other people’s inventories.
- Broken Fang Gloves | Yellow-banded (Field-Tested) — $62.99
- Shadow Daggers | Lore (Battle-Scarred) — $64.89
- Total: $127.88
Go for Battle-Scarred here, even though the budget comfortably allowed for a cleaner condition. The reason is simple: as the gold wears off Lore, the black blade underneath starts to show through, and that gold-on-black contrast matches the gloves exactly.
So the worse the knife’s condition, the better it fits the set. That doesn’t happen often in CS2, and it would be a shame not to take advantage of it. Daggers also remain the cheapest way to get a premium finish like Lore into your hands.
- Moto Gloves | 3rd Commando Company (Well-Worn) — $56.15
- Falchion Knife | Black Laminate (Field-Tested) — $69.64
- Total: $125.79
We found this one by accident, clicking through options, and then couldn’t stop looking at it. The hard plastic knuckle plates on the Moto Gloves and the matte black blade on the Falchion could have been cut from the same material: the same depth of black, the same behavior in light.
In inspect it looks like one continuous object with no visible seam between hand and blade. The camo base and red accents on the gloves add just enough color to keep the whole thing from going flat black.
- Hand Wraps | Desert Shamagh (Field-Tested) — $54.39
- Ursus Knife | Rust Coat (Battle-Scarred) — $69.57
- Total: $123.96
Another case where a low condition works entirely in your favor. The rust pushes the Ursus blade into a warm brown, and next to sand-colored wraps nobody is going to ask whether these two belong together.
Desert Shamagh brings the pattern with its unusual print, the knife brings raw texture, and neither item steals attention from the other. Watch the float here too: the higher it climbs, the more rust comes through, so the beaten-up copies are the ones worth buying.
- Driver Gloves | Seigaiha (Well-Worn) — $85.12
- Kukri Knife | Night Stripe (Field-Tested) — $60.33
- Total: $145.45
The only recent gloves in the lineup, straight out of the Dead Hand collection. Think about what that says about the market: a model that’s been in the game for a matter of months is already going for under $100.
We paired them with the newest knife available. The Kukri arrived in CS2 itself and still feels fresh on the server. The blue waves on the Seigaiha and the cold blue of Night Stripe sit so close in tone that these two should really be sold as a package. This is the most modern-looking set in the roundup, with no camo and no wear to speak of.
- Moto Gloves | Finish Line (Battle-Scarred) — $71.14
- Survival Knife | Damascus Steel (Field-Tested) — $74.48
- Total: $145.62
The most experimental and most debatable pair here. Damascus banding and a checkered flag have no business working together, and yet the swirls in the steel pick up the rhythm of the checks well enough that the eye reads it as deliberate.
We still can’t tell whether it’s the similarity doing the work or the contrast. Either way the set looks alive, and you won’t be running into it in anyone else’s inventory. The Battle-Scarred gloves help as well, since worn checks read more honestly than glossy ones.
- Driver Gloves | Overtake (Field-Tested) — $60.95
- Huntsman Knife | Scorched (Field-Tested) — $74.75
- Total: $135.70
We’ll close with a quiet brown combo for players who want decent skins without announcing them to the server. The scorched Huntsman blade and the brown leather of the Driver Gloves stay in one color family, and the yellow stitching on the gloves is the only accent in the entire set.
Restrained, low-key, not a single acid tone anywhere. This is the kind of loadout that won’t age or wear thin after a month, and the Huntsman is still one of the most recognizable models in the game.
